He had an overall great game defensively. He possibly solidified the left field position for himself.
Ryan has a huge heart and he's a very competitive person. He pitched on guts today and I'm proud of him.
When you lose a couple and you didn't play your best baseball and the runs aren't coming, sometimes you might be pressing a little bit. But I thought our guys were comfortable. They were taking their hacks up there, being aggressive.
I'm happy that we are 3-0. But there's a lot of work that we need to do. There are a lot of areas where we need to improve. But we are going to be a stronger team as the year progresses.
The great thing about our team is that we can bounce back from anything. We took a look at this game and we already put it behind us. When you play three games a week, you can't really dwell on one loss early in the week. We're playing a really tough Appleton West team on Thursday so we don't have a lot of time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have to be ready to compete right away.
That was the big turning point of the game. The score was not very indicative of how close the game was. It was an extremely close game. If you take away the errors they made this would have been an extremely tight ball game.
Derek pitched exceptionally well. And Nick did a tremendous job coming in and closing the door.
They are a good hitting team, no doubt about it. I thought Ryan had some of his pitches up today early on. But you have to give credit to their team.
We were very fortunate to come out with a win because (Appleton North is) an exceptional team. Not a bad win for a team predicted to finish ninth.
